Help me find a place to install?

I know nothing about the area of DC. Could you guys help me find a place that I can do all these installs at?

Thanks

Prefer an indoor garage like area? Or outside can do? I'm just thinking of a location and will call to see if its available.

Potential place in Laurel, MD. Its a tint shop that several MINIs have gotten Tint including both of mine.

He said he would gladly let us use his shop if he can get at least 3 cars that he can get business from. And he is cheap for his great work. $140-150 per car. Price differs depending on tint choosen.

Please let me know.

Question about the tinting?

My fiancee thinks he may want to get my Honda tinted (his when i get the Mini) does the tinting have to be done at the same time a the install to count as the 3? Or just around the same time.

Hmm..he said he would like to get 3 done in the time allowed for the vinyl. Just that way his schedule is full for that time period. I'm sure if we decide to do the installs @ his place he will be glad to work with you. He seemed very enthusiastic to do this.:smile:

This sounds like it might be a good place. I may even have him do my windows If my mini is done by then. Have not tackled tint yet.


With as many installs as we have lined up right now we are going to need at least 2 days, maybe 3.

Someone PM me with this shops number and Is it close to the capitol?

If this is the place I'm thinking of, that's where I got the Integra tinted. They did a really good job I'd definately go back again. It's mixed in with a bunch of other auto shops, right?
